Well said bro FOX.

I carry as little as possible, trying to keep everything I do carry off of the belly and legs (as it is sometimes a real pain in the arse to get to in a pinch, and I find that items in these locations get snagged on stuff really easily during bounds). Consider what you want to carry and rework or customize your BDU rig with some extra pockets in easy to access locations (as an example mod a small pocket just below your right shoulder to carry your spare mag(s). This is an ideal place for them as it minimizes the amount of movement needed to access them when needed).
Also consider using a shoulder holster for a side arm (again, the location minimizes the nessicary movement required to draw your side arm with out reaching all over the place).

As stated by someone else, a hydration bladder is always a big plus...especially during the mil sim games....along with some jerky and snacks.

Best of luck;
